debhelper package and excluding config.guess config.sub from diff
[Please keep CC] The debian/rules copy the recent config.* files: clean: unpatch dh_testdir dh_testroot rm -f build-stamp # Add here commands to clean up after the build process. [ ! -f $(MAKE) ] || $(MAKE) distclean ifneq $(wildcard /usr/share/misc/config.sub) cp -f /usr/share/misc/config.sub config.sub endif ifneq $(wildcard /usr/share/misc/config.guess) cp -f /usr/share/misc/config.guess config.guess endif The problem is that these end up in the *.diff.gz. I'd rather keep the diff clean for easier inspection. Is there a way to exclude certain files from the diff? I'm using debhelper [1] Jari [1] binary-arch: build install dh_testdir dh_testroot dh_installchangelogs dh_installdocs dh_installexamples dh_installman dh_link dh_strip dh_compress dh_fixperms dh_installdeb dh_shlibdeps dh_gencontrol dh_md5sums dh_builddeb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

question
Dear mentors, i have a program that i want to compile, but i miss the file 'curl-config' and so the process stops with an error. My questions is. How can i find the package the provides the above file (it can be more than one)? i am currently searching on google for such cases, but i was wandering whether there is a better way. Mainly i want to provide a suggestion when such failures occur. For instance in this case i could say that possible candidate packages for this file are x,y,z... many thanks -- -- Dionysis Kalofonos -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

That's what Build-Depends are for: there you specify the name of the packages required to build the package; and of course you can use ORed dependencies, e.g. Build-Depends: foo | bar many thanks Cheers, -- Raphael Geissert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hello Raphael, thank you for replying.

However, if you get the source and do configure make i don't see how Build-Depends could be considered. My idea is to add a little something in the configure script so as to make a few suggestions when files that we check for are missing.

Re: Automated checks for correct ‘build’ and ‘clean’ behaviour
Ben Finney wrote: Howdy mentors, I've seen some discussion around the topic of Debian packages which don't clean properly in their ‘clean’ target, and others that fail if the ‘build’ target is invoked twice in succession. Are there automated checks one can invoke on a local machine to make sure a package behaves properly in these respects? Perhaps using a ‘pbuilder’ environment? If you rebuild a package twice in a row (source and binary builds) and compare the .diff.gz, or if the second build fails then you will find some of those bugs. pbuilder support hook scripts which can help you do most of the stuff automagically (once coded, of course).
